Favorite Artists of the 90s

The Wonders

 

[Reverend Rock]

I've never heard of the Wonders, but that made me think of the fact that since this thread started, I have discovered the Wondermints (best known for their work as back-up musicians for Brian Wilson). They have emerged as my absolute favorite 90s music. Their selt-titled debut album from 1996 is pretty much a universal "critic's darling". I just got to hear it since Christmas (it's very hard-to-find), and I've totally flipped over it (I already had their other two albums, both of which are excellent as well).

 

[Radiohead > You]

My favorite decade. Hard to make a shortlist from such an amazing decade but here goes:

Radiohead
My Bloody Valentine
Bjork
PJ Harvey
Portishead
Massive Attack
Beck
Blur
Manic Street Preachers
Nirvana
R.E.M.
Pavement
The Verve
Primal Scream
Ride
The Beta Band
Suede

psst.... most of those bands started in the 80s

good call on the beta band though. too bad they went the way of the manic street preachers.

 

[Radiohead > You]

I never realised the thread was subjected to only bands that started in the 90's you idiot. Still, theres only about 4 from my list that actually did.

And yeah, The Beta Band are awesome.

 

[eccentric man]

at least you're living up to your self proclaimed title of 'pretentious indie fag'

 

[Radiohead > You]

Indeed I am. In fact, what am I doing on a classic rock discussion forum?

 

[eccentric man]

well you could be trying to learn a little history hehe

 

[Radiohead > You]

yer, well I used to be a huge prog fan... but Ive always been a bit of a alternative geek, and my favorite band is The Beatles, and you can't get anymore classic that that can you?
